A lot depends on the appearance of potato pancakes.

Sometimes potato pancakes turn out grey-blue. This dish may be tasty. But it doesn't look very appetizing, so household members or guests may refuse it.

The dish should be golden, and then it will be popular even at a festive dinner, when there are already enough delicious dishes.

But how can you prevent the base of the potato pancakes from turning blue and achieve a beautiful golden brown crust?

The answer is simple: the potato mass will not darken if you add one simple ingredient to it.

What supplement are we talking about?

The color of grated potatoes will not change if you mix them with onions.

You can use onion “gruel” obtained using a grater or meat grinder.

But it is better to add fried onions to the potato mixture.

You need to do the following: finely chop the onion and put the resulting cubes into a frying pan, into which vegetable oil was poured in advance.

Due to the additional ingredient, the base for the potato pancakes will not turn grey. There will be no problems with the ready-made pancakes either: they will retain a beautiful colour even after cooling.
